Back to the City
Hello, I'm back in Toronto now, if only for a few days. I didn't have a look-of-the-day entry yesterday because I was busy shooting the episode on Vacation clothes. I will publish it as soon as I'm done editing. I hope you've all regained your energy and are ready for the New Year celebration, regardless of how spectacular or quiet you plan it to be. What I'm wearing: Pants by "Stella ...
Monday Calm
Hey guys, In the past few years I've grow increasingly fond of loose, draping cardigan with asymmetrical silhouettes. Their deliberate aesthetic sloppiness is so freeing that it's almost fashion-cathartic. They are awesome for travel and other occasions that require hassle-free, low-maintenance, versatile garments. All the fabric pulling, stretching and general wear will only add to its ...
Cool Scarfs
Hello fashionistas, I hope you're all having an awesome post-Christmas time - relaxed, well fed, and ready for the real party (New Years that is). I'm still at the lodge, enjoying the laid-back atmosphere, with its biggest dilemmas being whether to (a) watch another movie, (b) read a book, (c) take another nap, (d) just hang out and do nothing, (e) or sauna. We usually just resort to (d) with ...
Pink Diamond Flowers
Hey guys, I went shopping today! The significance of this rests in the simple fact that in Canada it's boxing-day - the one day in the year that is supposedly notorious for crazy sales and discounts (an equivalent to Black Friday in the States). I was extremely hesitant in undertaking this insane endeavour but curiosity "go the best of me." See...I wrote boxing-day off ages ago because it's ...
Merry Christmas
Hello my dears, I am chilling on the coach at the lodge right now, while the rest of my family members do their own thing. Talk about quality family time :). No, I'm just kidding (we spend a lot of time together and are pretty close). I wanted to wish you all a super Merry Christmas and thank you for visiting my blog. In today's look-of-the-day I kept it relatively simple. I'm wearing this ...
Denim and Tweed
Hello fashion obsessed, Today my family and I will be driving for about 3 hours to spend our Christmas in the country. I love a change of scenery even if it means leaving the city. I can't wait to chill out by the fire at the lodge; it will be so country-fabulous. There is more snow, greenery, and fresh air, which should be refreshing considering that I've spend the last couple of days couped ...
Sun Kissed Glow
Hi, I am still a bit sick and am not quite in the condition for a mini photo shoot, so today's look-of-the-day is taken from my last vacations to Cuba. The silk of this flowy dress is adorned with gold embroidered flowers, which shine as the light hits them. This produces a slightly glowing effect - a reflection of how vacations make you feel and look in general. As you can probably sense, I ...
Purplelicious
Hello dear guests, Today I was planning to shoot the first video on a vacation-related topic but I'm feeling under the weather. I can't breath through my nose at all, sound like a teenage boy going through yearly puberty, and look like a full-on sick person. So instead, I'll be chilling in bed most of the day - watching movies, drinking hot milk with honey, and trying to get better. Today's ...
Cozy Monday
Hi fashionistas, One of my favourite things about the winter season is being able to feel truly cozy. The extreme discomfort of being outside in the snowstorm or freezing-rain is offset by the satisfying feeling of getting out of this dreadful weather. As I'm enjoying my summer, the thoughts of impermanence creep into my mind with the reminder of the inevitable winter to come. It is ...
The Sunday After
Hello, My parents' anniversary party was last night and it was a "great success." My favourite part of dealing with the aftermath of a good dinner-party is all the leftover food. So I'll be heading out to their house soon to give them a hand with this painstaking task :) (someone has to do it). Today's look-of-the-day is of what I was wearing last night. What I wore: Dress by "Robert ...
